THE BIO DAY AT MEyERsDALE,
Third Annual Reunion of the c. a.
r. Posts of Somerset County.


The tl,iri annual reunion Of the O. A. K
P'ssi- ef sonlerS,si County was held al Mey-
ersdale on Thursday Of last week, and the
event is one which will long be remembered
by the residents of tha, staid village, from
the fact that it brought together a larger
crowd Of people than perhaps ever before as
sesnbled at one time within its borders.
Excursion trains were ran from ali points
on the baltimore and Ohio Railroad. and the
arrival Of each train added its influx 10 the
number until the crowd was swelled to six
or eigh, thousand people.
For several DAYS preceding the reunion the
members OF NJ c. lowry Pest Of that place,
assisted by its patriotic citizens, were busiiy
engaged in making preparations for the
event, and when the day arrived the hand
some manner in which the principal streets
were decorated showed that they had not
been idle.
Many of the residences ofprivase citizens
were tastefllly fesiooned with flags, ever
greens and bunting, which, together with
the profuse street decorations, gave the town
a very attractive appearance
The committees having the matter in
charge were cheerfully and literally second
ed by the residents OF the town, and the con-
tributions ofmoney, provisions, etc, poured
in in such prcfasion that there was not only
enough, but to spare, and to this fact may
be attributed the eminent SUCCESS which at
tended their efforts
After the arrival of the last train the pro-
c,sssion, which numbered fully eight hun
drei veterans and members of the different
6. A. R. Posts of the county was formed at
the B. and o. depot and moved through
the principal streets OF the town IN the fol-
